WE WILL NOT BE SILENT
WE WILL NOT BE SILENT is an artist/activist collaborative language project that has been in existence since 2006. Through the creative use of language embodied on shirts, people are noticed coming and going in their everyday lives, and engage in conversations they otherwise would not have. Through the use of messages emboldened on signs from the collection, One Thousand Signs For Our Times, people respond to social justice crises and concerns.
We have worked with language as our medium, the commons as our center and the art of photography as a vehicle to spread compelling messages in person and through the media.
WE WILL NOT BE SILENT invites people to participate as part of the greater collective WE, who have something to say and want to be heard. Thousands have participated in this conceptual and visually engaging, social-art project. By taking these creative, direct public-actions, many people participate and many others are engaged.
